The moisture performance of building envelope components is one of the main challenges of energy efficient buildings. The combined Heat and Moisture
Transfer (HAMT) model in EnergyPlus can provide moisture profiles through multiple material layers of an envelope assembly using a coupled, onedimensional,
finite volume model simulating the movement and storage of heat and moisture. Currently only a limited assessment of the effects of moisture
sources inside an assembly to determine impacts on durability, indoor air quality, and energy performance is possible.

This paper discusses different strategies to model moisture sources in building components due to air leakage. Models that enable air leakage to result in a
moisture sink or source at an arbitrary location extend the existing mass transfer equation with a source term that includes water vapor deposit from air
flow through an assembly. New sub-models with different levels of complexity to calculate the air flow through the assembly are developed. The air flow can
be user defined, it can be computed as a result of the stack height and a user defined ventilation overpressure or completely derived from an air-flow network.
We explain the model enhancements, discuss the required inputs for every option together with related limitations, showcase the model application and make
the source code publicly available for external use.
